$15 each way

Going cross-country for a week-long wedding party for your best friend? Better hope your suit, shoes, presents, (contraband) Cuban cigars, and rare bottle of scotch can fit into your tiny carry-on. If not, you’re out $15. Amazingly, other big carriers also follow this practice and take it up three notches for a second checked bag. How much is that? Up to $50.
